Conscription was suspended twelve years ago. In a t-online interview, two ex-soldiers discuss whether they should return or whether compulsory service should be introduced.
Introduced in the mid-1950s, conscription has not been abolished to this day – but was suspended in 2011. Since Russia’s attack on Ukraine, it has been a topic of conversation again.
Here or in the video above, two former soldiers reveal how they feel about the revival of basic military service with weapons or the introduction of compulsory service.
